...Turn of the Century: Homosexuality Acceptance Marjorie A. Webster Ashford University Cultural Awareness in the Human Services HHS 320 Professor Andrea Shenkman July 25, 2012 Turn of the Century: Homosexuality Acceptance Our society and our sitcoms have evolved from what it used to be in the 1950s, during the time of Ricky Ricardo and Lucy Ball in the “I Love Lucy” show. Fast forward to the 21st century, television shows such as, “Glee”, “Will and Grace”, and “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” carry different themes than those of Ricky’s and Lucy’s silly innocent antics. When in time did our society get over the initial shock of an interracial Ricky and Lucy laying in one bed, to accepting homosexual couples on television? Our society expands further than Hollywood antics, especially with sensitive issues dealing with our individual beliefs, traditions, and customs. In this paper, I will cover the media effect of sexual orientation exposure, the brief history and repeal of the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, and the acceptance of same-sex marriages in the United States. It goes without saying that the United States is the salad bowl of the world; socially accepting of all races, gender, religion, and now sexual orientation. America is moving forward and embracing a more diverse culture and practices and it is backing it up with concrete legal and political significance. Due to the imminent and overwhelming media exposure of homosexuality, it is evident, be it...

...Problem Statement: Karen Leary (Leary) is unsure whether to grant Ted Chung’s (Chung) request for a private office. She is worried that awarding the office to Chung could cause motivation and morale issues within the other consultants. Hypothesis (H) (it may be) & Analysis (A): (H1) A breakdown of communication between Leary and Chung (A1) The case speaks a lot about the relationship between Leary and Chung and no issue is more evident than the lack of communication between them. As we went to in depth in class, feedback is a vital part of the employee/manager relationship. However, there is minimum feedback given either way within this case. The case talks of how Leary interviewed Chung eight times before hiring him and even then did not feel she knew the person. This tells me that she did not ask the right questions. Even more is that Leary would tell Chung nice job and help push him along but never followed up with criticism. Instead, she took it upon herself to Micro-manage his work and watch over not only Chung but also all her FC’s shoulders. Chung also could use help in communicating, Being he was a loner per say. He would only tell Leary about what was going on with his work when asked. He also kept close attention to make sure that he documented his dealings to show that he was adhering to the company’s rules. However, he would not expound on things. This caused Leary to be suspicious. This issue is one that is of utmost importance in the case. Because of the...

Dr armenio maia n.º 212º esq 3680-115 Oliveira de Frades/ Portugal Student nr: 70662912 Exam nr 50046800 Email: Claudia.soeiro1@gmail.com The song I'm choosing is full of poetry and it has a deep meaning like clear water and I guess we all feel it once in life at least. In this thesis I would like to approach the meaning the song as for me and the difference between 1993 until 1999. Also leave an important message to you that you can read during this prewriting. In 1993 singers were artists and some ugly in 1999 singers are all models that sing. In 1993 I was 15 years old. I was a teenager in the down of my adult life and when I listen to this song on the radio I always wondered what that emotion so private that they sang was. Private Emotion: The song is from the Hooters and the lyrics are as follows: Every endless night has a dawning day Every darkest sky has a shining ray And it shines on you, baby, can't you see You're the only one who can shine for me It's a private emotion That fills you tonight And a silence falls between us As the shadows steal the light and wherever you may find it Wherever it may lead Let your private emotion come to me Come to me, come to me, come to me When your soul is tired and your heart is weak Do you think of love as a one way street? Well, it runs both ways, open up your eyes Can't you see me here, how can you deny It's a private emotion That fills you tonight And a silence falls between us As the shadows...

...Your First Day on Your First Job ‘You got the job! You got the job!’ were the words that joyfully rang out from the fast stuttering mouth of my closest neighbor, Maggie. She brought the good news that her boss, Regina Dumas, had agreed to employ me as a secretary for the non-government organization ‘Agency For Rural Transformation’. I couldn’t contained myself and exclaimed ‘Yes, I did it! Finally I can work and earn my own money!’ All too soon the day came for me to head off for my first day of work. I woke at 4:30 a.m., too excited to sleep anymore but anxious to start the journey to my workplace. ‘Make sure to drink at least a cup of tea’ was the forceful sound of my mother’s voice. She was happy for me, and wanted to ensure that I had a good start before beginning the workday. By 7:00 a.m., I was fully dressed in my long sleeve blue pant suit, paired with a florescent blouse and accessorized with my black shoes and brown leather bag. I kissed my mom goodbye and waited outside the house on the verandah for the sound of the blaring horn from the hired bus to take us to the workplace, a full seventeen miles from home. For the most part, the journey from St. Andrew’s to the parish of St. George’s was a smooth and uneventful ride. I travelled through the main winding mountainous road which took me through the rain forest, with its luscious pine trees. With the windows open, the fresh morning breeze smoothly bathed my face, giving it a refreshing feeling. The scent of the...

...ANOTHER BOXING ROBBERY My fraternity Brod, Edrin “The Sting” Dapudong, could not help but show his disappointment when we chatted over his loss to South African Gideon Buthelezi by a split decision for the IBO World Junior Bantamweight Title at the Emperor Palace Hotel Casino Resort Pavilion in Johannesburg, South Africa on Saturday, November 10. Dapudong’s manager, former North Cotabato Governor Manny Pinol, was utterly dismayed by the decision favoring the South African even after Dapudong “turned Buthelezi’s face into a bloody mess” as early as the first round “and then floored the local fighter with his signature left hook in the ninth round that sent Buthelezi to the canvas for a mandatory eight count.” Governor Pinol dubbed the fight as “one of the greatest boxing robberies of all time,” similar to the controversial Timothy Bradley victory over Manny Pacquiao. South Africa is notorious for hometown decisions. Governor Pinol writes in his blog, mannypinol.com, that “It was only the British judge from London, Reg Thompson, who saw Dapudong the winner by a wide margin while the South African judge, Tony Nyangiwe, living up to South African boxing tradition, and American Michael Pernick from Miami, gave the fight to Buthelezi.” I told Brod Edrin that even as he lost the fight, his being robbed of the title might hopefully drum up interest in the sport again and, eventually, in his capability as a fighter. I guess the boxing world needs such controversies...

...Introduction The owners of Staff One attempted a few short term adjustments to pull in the reign on the accounting of the business as well as other aspects of the business of staffing. In the past they trusted the office manager to pay the bills, deposit the checks and pay the employees. They expected her to be truthful when questioned about specifics. They expected the information regarding payments and bank account balances shown to them to be accurate. Never in their wildest dreams would they have thought that payments made to the IRS would be deleted, bank statements were falsified or that a second set of QuickBooks would have been downloaded on the computer. Technological Improvement Many long term changes need to be implemented at Staff One but a good start is with a system that schedules employees, houses client and employee information as well as timekeeping information. A scheduling system more inclusive of the system used in the past is what is needed. A system that has the ability to involve clients, employees, managers and the owners of the company. A system that gives both ‘front office’ and ‘back office’ access. The system must also be used to as much of its capacity as possible. It is time for Staff One to learn to rely on outsourcing providers with extensive experience in dealing with Information Systems and Technology. (Pearlson & Saunders 2013) There is a system available that would meet the needs...

...Reflective writing – Matching Consumer Psychology with Effective Communication Styles On 03/11/15 I instructed two people in the training of “matching consumer psychology with effective communication styles”. The intention of the plan was that my training had a strong structure using the “KISS” technique (Keep It Simple Stupid) and had a solid start, solid middle and a solid end. By doing this I felt it identified the need for my subject matter in the current commercial environment. The way I conveyed the information was by preparing a slide show that would especially appeal to visual learners; I then provided handouts so the visual learners had another way to follow along. For the predominately auditory learners in my group I made sure that I repeated every word that was on the presentation slides, I also encouraged the group to ask questions so they could learn from the answers I gave. I tried to use the newsreaders approach by explaining what our objectives are at the beginning and what we will learn, then to explain what we have learned so far in the middle of the session and what we have learned on the whole at the end of the session. I was effective with explaining this at the start and middle but towards the end of the training I was conscious on time and unfortunately missed the summary part out. For the Kinetic learners in my group I made sure we had an interactive and simple case study at the end which I also used as my barometer on what the whole group have...

...Max Beckham Management Individual Paper 6 December 2015 Power And Influence The Bad-----------The Good-----------The Ugly Perhaps due to negative connotation, many people through out the work place avoid office politics as much as possible. But the truth is, to ensure your own wellbeing and the success of future projects you must navigate your way through the minefield known as, “office politics.” In order to survive, one must keep up with the politics in their workplace and learn how to “play the game.” Office politics are evident when important decisions at work are made, this encourages workers to begin in political behavior to ensure they get their way. Some people have more power over other employees, either through hierarchy in business or determined by length of time with company. Whether you are the pencil pusher at the bottom of the totem poll or the CEO you will have to face the fact that you must try to be politically correct in the workplace. For everyone in the company receiving a promotion this can be of utmost importance. To deal effectively with office politics, first you must accept the reality of it. Once you’ve done this, you must figure out a plan or strategize on how to cope with the political behavior happening in the office. The best way to this is to listen, letting others take the reins at the beginning. Use the information you gather to build a strong sense of identity around coworkers which promotes the personality traits and attributes...

... Camille Eddo English Z Vocab words April 3rd, 2016 Joseph L. Byrd was an amiable man; quiet but kind, with a boyish face and soft rounded features. He lived on Sherwood Blvd. 22680 in Chuckslick, M.A., and lived 2,4901 steps away from his office. Every day at 6:03 AM Mr. Byrd would wake up to the shining light of his electric alarm clock on his nightside table, a pale green glow that would hurt his eyes ever so slightly as it gleamed into his corneas. At his bathroom sink, Mr. Byrd would wash his face and shave his stubbled chin with a sufficient twelve strokes of his razor, in a total of four minutes and twenty-six seconds. He would button his shirt which had a total of nine buttons in thirty-five seconds, and tie his plain black tie in a single windsor knot for forty-nine seconds. In those forty-nine seconds Mr. Byrd would complete six advanced mathematical equations that he could produce by counting the numerous dots on his blue pin-dotted dress shirt. Mr. Byrd would grab a red and orange nectarine from the basket that sat six point five inches away from the edge of his kitchen counter and he would exit his apartment complex. On his way to his car, Mr. Byrd would hum a blithe tune as he took the fourteen steps necessary to cross the street and make it to the parking lot for his apartment complex. He would squeeze his body between his black Hyundai and the Honda Accord of Eileen F....

...Olympic sprint champion Florence Griffith Joyner died after suffering an epileptic seizure, according to autopsy results released Thursday, and her family and friends say they hope the findings will put to rest rumors that drug use contributed to her death. Griffith Joyner died last month in her sleep at age 38. Her husband, Al Joyner, bitterly criticized those who suggested that she took performance-enhancing drugs. "My wife took the final, ultimate drug test," Joyner said, choking back tears during a brief news conference after the release of the autopsy. "And it's what we always said: There's nothing there. So please, please, give us time to grieve and just let my wife rest in peace." The Orange County Sheriff-Coroner's office found that the only drugs in her system when she died were small amounts of the over-the-counter painkiller acetominophen and the antihistamine Benadryl, which is sometimes used as a mild sedative. Griffith Joyner's epileptic seizure lasted from minutes to less than hour, said Dr. Richard I. Fukumoto, the county's chief forensic pathologist. Such seizures rarely lead to death, medical experts noted. In Griffith Joyner's case, the seizure apparently caused her to be suffocated by her bedding.
